A well-defined jawline is often associated with beauty, balance, and youthful elegance. While some individuals are naturally gifted with a sculpted lower face, others may have a broader jawline due to genetics, muscle hypertrophy, or lifestyle habits such as teeth grinding.
Fortunately, non-surgical options like BOTOX can refine the jawline without the need for invasive procedures. At Rousso Adams Facial Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL, we offer expert BOTOX treatments designed to contour and slim the jawline, creating a more refined and harmonious facial appearance.
How BOTOX Works for Jawline Slimming
BOTOX, a purified neurotoxin derived from botulinum toxin type A, temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. While it is widely recognized for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX also has transformative applications in facial reshaping.
When injected into the masseter muscles—the large muscles on either side of the jaw—BOTOX reduces their activity, gradually decreasing muscle size. This effect results in a slimmer, more contoured jawline without affecting normal functions such as chewing or speaking.
The Benefits of Jawline Slimming with BOTOX
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive: No incisions, scarring, or downtime.
Softens the appearance of a square or overly broad jawline: Ideal for those who desire a more refined lower face. - Relieves symptoms of jaw clenching (bruxism): Helps alleviate jaw tension, headaches, and teeth grinding.
- Quick treatment with long-lasting results: Noticeable slimming in 4-6 weeks, lasting approximately 3-4 months.
- Enhances facial harmony: Creates a natural-looking balance between the jawline and other facial features.
Jawline Slimming with BOTOX is Best For…
- Those who have a naturally broad or square jawline due to enlarged masseter muscles
- Patients wanting a more refined, feminine, or V-shaped lower face
- Those who suffer from bruxism or TMJ-related discomfort
- Patients who are in good overall health
What to Expect During Your Jawline Slimming Session
At Rousso Adams Facial Plastic Surgery, your treatment will begin with a consultation, during which our experienced providers assess your facial structure and aesthetic goals. The procedure itself is quick and virtually painless, typically taking 10-15 minutes. A series of small injections are administered directly into the masseter muscles, with minimal discomfort.
Unlike surgical jaw reduction, BOTOX requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. While some patients experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites, these effects subside within a few days.
Over the next several weeks, as the masseter muscles gradually relax and reduce in size, you will notice a softer, slimmer jawline. The results typically last between 3 and 4 months, with maintenance treatments recommended to prolong the effect.
